Robin Koch believes Leeds United should have earned more than just one point against Brentford. More possession and shots on target ultimately equated to nothing as the Whites were held to a 0-0 draw on home soil.
In fact, the Bees failed to force Illan Meslier into a single save but still returned south with another point on the board. Victory would have moved Leeds - now without a league win in six attempts - three points clear of the relegation zone.
A frustrating afternoon did little to ease the pressure on under-fire Jesse Marsch but there were a few positives to take from the game. One of those was Koch himself, who impressed in the backline and managed to stifle Brentford hitman Ivan Toney.

One sour note, however, was how the German’s 84th-minute booking will rule him out for the clash against Nottingham Forest on February 5. Koch remained upbeat about the Whites’ performance after the game but clearly felt the win was there for the taking.
“The goal was to get three points today but I think it was a really good performance and this is something we can build on,” he told LUTV post-match. “It feels a bit disappointing because I think we deserved three points today.
“This is where at the moment. It’s disappointing but it was a really good game from us today. I felt, defensively, we did really well as a whole team and even offensively, we had a few chances.
“With a bit of luck, we score a goal and then we get three points out of this game. But yeah, it was still a good performance.”
